Complete Guide: Create & Verify PayPal Account In India

I'm writing this tutorial as many of people get scared while creating paypal account as we have to give our bank details and personal details. But trust me its totally safe and its the best gateway to transfer and receive money.Step 1 :- Go to PayPal.com and click on sign up.

Step 2 :- Select country and account type.Here you need to select your desired country and then select account type. In PayPal there are two kinds of account,

PayPal individual account (Free)

PayPal business account (Paid)

If you are running your business online or if your are a blogger and just wanted to send and receive payments from overseas then you should go for "An account for individuals". Business accounts are paid and they have "advanced" and "Pro" packages. But they are of no use to us. So, simply go with individual account type.

Step 3 :- Enter your information.Fill all the details properly and carefully. You need to write your email id and password. Mention your email Id carefully because through this you will receive your payments.

P.S make sure your first name, middle name and last name are as per your PAN CARD else you cannot be able to verify your pan card. Step 4 :- Complete task board.After filling your details you will be ask to enter your credit/debit card details, you can skip it, if your are creating account just to receive the payments.

But you have to complete 4 tasks as being a India user. So go to your dashboard and click on "Start" to complete the task. The tasks are as follows,

Pan Card:

when you enter your pan card number they will verify your paypal account name with the pan card name. So, just make sure you followed step 3 correctly. If you are minor or if you don't have pan card, you can always open account with your parents name.If you have HUF pan card. Then you also have to mention HUF in "last name" column else it will show you the error in verifying your account. HUF pan cards are verified manually. So you have to call paypal customer service no. 1800 212 3852. It is toll free no.

Link Bank Account to PayPal Account:

In the "task board" you will be asked to add bank account. So just click on "start" button and you will be redirected to the different page. Here you need to add details such as,

Name on bank account

Account number

Bank's IFSC code

Name will be automatically fetched, just make sure it is correct. Then carefully enter your bank account number and here your also have to mention the IFSC code of your bank.

If you don't know the IFSC code of your bank then you can select "NO" in "Do you know your back's IFSC code" then paypal will ask you to enter "bank name, state, city and branch location" and it will automatically fetch it. Else you can also search it on Google by writing your "Bank name and branch area" for example :- SBI satellite IFSC code or you can also check it on your check book.P.S you can also go to your bank ;-)Once you're done filling the information click on "review" and then click on submit. Now paypal will send you 2 small deposits (so check back account after) 24-48 hours, which you have to enter while confirming your bank account. The small deposits would be like 1.03 & 1.01.To confirm, just login into your paypal account and click on link "confirm your back account". So just enter the amont, when your receive it in your account and click on confirm. It will automatically confirm your bank account.Note : this process will take 2-3 days so create paypal account today only.

Add Purpose Code:

Now the last step is to add a purpose code. Simply from the task board only click on "start" button and you will be redirected to another page. Here you will find the long list of purposes (why your are receiving or sending the payment) like R&D, hardware/software consulting or advertising or market research. So, if your are earning money from affiliate marketing or via advertising you can select "advertising or market research".

Link Credit Card / Debit Card With Indian PayPal Account:

If you just wanted to use paypal account for receiving the payments then no need to link your credit or debit card. That's why I told you to skip this step above. But if you wanted to send money to someone overseas then you definitely have to link your paypal account.To do so just go to "Profile >> link/edit credit card". Simple select the card type and fill the details and link you credit / debit card with paypal.But while linking you may get an error as all the banks doesn't support international income. So in this case you have to change your bank. Else you can also ask your bank (by calling customer care) whether they are accepting international income or not. As far I know below mentioned few banks works fine with paypal,

SBI

HDFC

Axis Bank

CITI Bank

ICICI Bank

If you know any other banks, you can comment below. I'll add them in this list. The banks which doesn't accept paypal income will give you error message such as,

can i receive payments directly in my paypal account without having bank account, i have just created paypal account but i still don't have bank account so can i receive payments in paypal, and after creating bank account will i transfer paypal amount in bank account.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Urrvish currently, like while creating your paypal account you can skip "add a back account" step but once you receive the payment you have to add your bank account.

As paypal won't keep your payment more that 7 days. It will automatically withdraw from your paypal account.

Urrvish you can also add your parents account. So, there are always certain ways :)
